HEEL BURSITIS: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS
Heel bursitis or retrocalcaneal bursitis is an inflammation of the serous bursa, which, as the name suggests, is found around the heel. The bursae are sacs containing a small amount of fluid, which are found around joints throughout the body and are intended to help reduce friction. The heel bursa is located behind the Achilles tendon, just above where it attaches to the heel bone.
Overstraining the joints by walking, running or jumping can all cause retrocalcaneal bursitis. Heel bursitis commonly occurs in athletes, especially runners and ballet dancers, but can affect anyone. It is easily confused with Achilles tendonitis, but the two conditions can occur at the same time.
CAUZE
The most common cause of retrocalcaneal bursitis is overuse of the heel and ankle area. A rapid increase in physical activity or not warming up properly before exercise can trigger this condition.
Exercising in tight shoes or walking in high heels can also cause retrocalcaneal bursitis. If you already have bursitis, wearing these types of footwear can make it worse.
In some cases, arthritis can cause retrocalcaneal bursitis. Rarely, it can be triggered by an infection.
You may be more at risk of developing retrocalcaneal bursitis if:
– you are over 65;
– play high-intensity sports;
– don’t perform proper warm-up and stretching movements before moving;
– your muscles are tight;
– have a job that involves repetitive movements and stress on your joints.
SIMPTOME
The main symptom of retrocalcaneal bursitis is heel pain. Pain may only occur when pressure is applied to the heel.
Other symptoms may include:
– swelling behind the heel;
– pain when you lean on your heel;
– pain in the calf muscles when running or walking;
– rigidity;
– red or warm skin on the back of the heel;
– loss of mobility;
– twitching when flexing the leg;
– shoes become uncomfortable.
